Our Predictions: These Food Trends Are Coming Next Year

Our food experts have consulted the crystal ball, and heres what we see on our tables in the year to come.

1. Middle Eastern Food

Last years best-selling cookbook Jerusalem helped build up steam for a taste of the Mideast. Signature dishes  skewered meat, tahini and yogurt sauces, smoky eggplant dips, lentil stews, hummus, and tabbouleh salads  all go nicely with other trends weve been watching: family-style dishes, lots of veggies, grains, and legumes in the center of the plate, and Greek yogurt in everything. This years kale salads will be sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, slices of dates, and chunks of feta. New seasonings to add to your spice rack: zaatar and Aleppo pepper. Even breakfast menus will be affected: Instead of an omelet, order shakshuka, eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce.
